What is invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into position. Each set is worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the series, and the aligners can be removed to eat, brush and floss.
Who is it for?
You have mild to moderate crowding, gaps or bite issues.
You want straighter teeth without visible metal braces.
You want to keep eating and cleaning your teeth normally during treatment.
You have considered braces before but wanted something less noticeable.
Concerns patients bring to us
- Crowded, gapped or slightly rotated teeth you would like straightened.
- Wanting orthodontic treatment that is not visible day-to-day.
- Concern about cleaning teeth properly with fixed braces.
- Wanting the ability to remove your aligners for meals and events.

Technology & approach
Your full treatment — every stage of movement, tooth by tooth — is mapped digitally before the first aligner is made, so you see the plan before committing to it.
